Huawei offers the Watch GT 2 in two sizes; 42mm and 46mm. Surprisingly, the design is a little different for the two variants. The smaller one looks a lot like the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active (Review) with a plain casing, while the bigger variant has markings around the bezel that give it a sportier look. We have the 46mm variant for this review.
The Huawei Watch GT 2 is powered by the company’s Kirin A1 processor. Huawei developed this chip specifically for wearables, including smartwatches and wireless headphones. It competes with the Snapdragon Wear 3100 SoC which is used by most WearOS devices, and the Exynos 9110 SoC which powers the Samsung Galaxy Watch Active 2.
Earlier today, Huawei rolled out a new software update for the Watch GT 2e and now the company has released April 2021 patch update for the Huawei Watch GT 2 in Europe. This software update comes with the same changes as the Watch GT 2e. This build comes with version number V1.0.12.12 and the size package of this update is only 24MB. You can check the complete changelog which is mentioned below.
